i just had contact with support regarding super slow rendering times – they referred me here.
i convert an h264 to a cropped png sequence, no effects applied (except the cropping).
if i do this in premiere or ae, it takes at least 2 hours and only utilises a fraction of my cpu. if i do the very same operation via ffmpeg (cli), it's done in less then 7 minutes. attached you'll find screenshots of the two procedures, note the render times (as said, same task, same machine, same result).

is this expected behaviour (because cc simply does not work on more then one core/thread) or a bug (and something can be done about it)?

Premiere Pro becomes less and less stable to work with. 2019 has seen the worst versions so far. It's already a running joke with EVERY single filmmaker I meet.

It's buggy, lagging and keeps crashing and wasting the time I should spend working for my client rather than trying to fix all kinds of things with crazy work-around solutions other Adobe customers come up with.

I'm dreaming of the day Premiere Pro is as stable as Photoshop but I guess I will have switched to DaVinci Resolve before that happens.

If you can see the wave and volume indicators, then PPro is outputting audio, to some device (though not necessarily the one to which you’re listening). Perhaps Adobe Support could help troubleshoot the issue.

Please fix frame.io plugin from syncing timelines! the newest release of premiere broke the frame.io extension from syncing comments to the sequence. I've reached out to them but they're trying to figure it out, and asked that I reach to you!

This happens across all 3 computers I use premiere on. Intermittently, but more often than not when I go to File>Export>Media the export wizard never shows up. I have to keep exiting and reopening premiere until it works.

This has been ongoing as an issue for years across multiple versions of premiere pro. Please fix this!

We believe that it’s happening, but cannot reproduce the behavior. If you can reproduce the problem in current builds of PPro, please contact Support and provide step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce it; we’d be happy to help.

I do not understand how a company as ADOBE can deliver up date for software with a so evident BUG!!! You put all the community in a deep mess! And we continue to pay you 60€ per month!!!! Processes exist to warrant the performance of a new piece of software, you must use them or change your developpers team ! I hope you will recognize the problem you have created and that you will give to your customers who are following you since years a large discount for the forthcoming months. WE MAY DREAM ISN'T IT

I'm honestly still surprised that even the latest versions of Premiere Pro CC still doesn't have this feature, Premiere Pro CC really at some point needs to add a Fullscreen Button both in your Computer's Drop Down File Menu and in the Program Monitor so you can actually playback all of your assembled video and audio clips in Fullscreen mode, and then obviously press "Esc" to exit out of Fullscreen mode.

I'm aware that you can use the ~ (Tilda) Key to closely zoom in and maximize the length of each window in each tab which I have used, but I want to be able to do a close analysis of assembled video by watching a Fullscreen video preview to do so.

I honestly thought the Premiere Pro Development Team would of added Fullscreen mode in future versions of Premiere Pro years ago, but now it's 2020 and Final Cut Pro 7, 10 and tons of video editing software have had Fullscreen mode for years, so I still don't understand why the team still never thought of adding a Fullscreen button if it was just an oversight by them.

To me this seems like a no-brainer. I hope that fullscreen mode gets added soon at some point in an update because this is such a basic feature that really should of been added years ago because it'll be very helpful to closely analyze a preview of your assembled footage before you export it.

We have had this feature for many years – Ctrl+Tilde. Esc to get out. I know we have a lot of keyboard shortcuts and you aren’t expected to know them all, but one good way to find out what they are is to open the Keyboard Shortcuts editor from the Premiere Pro menu. From there try searching for commands to see what the shortcut is or even reassign it to something that makes more sense to you. Hope this helps.

Hey there, I've been plagued with endless slow load times, miserably slow saves (taking up to 15 minutes just to save a project), and memory spikes using this software. That I pay for. I'm working on a TV show and don't have the time or patience to deal with Adobe's lack of effort here. There are updates to this software that come up more than once a month sometimes and yet severe bugs and serious media management issues are yet unresolved. 50% of the time I have a second, tiny project open and want to close it, keeping my second project open, it crashes. Or locks up for minutes at a time, sometimes over an hour. Just to close a project! Not to mention, when I quit Premiere it just lingers for an absurd amount of time. I always force quit at this point because I can't wait around while a lazily built software tries to close down. What is happening here? Why aren't these issues resolved? Can I get a few more months free for the hours of time you wasted?

Big issue: Clip markers make project files huge. This is true from 2019 - 2020, and maybe before that. If your project file is huge, try removing all clip markers, particularly from wav and mp4 files, and watch your project file go from 50MB to 1.3MB. This causes Premiere to run slow, save slow, and open slow. I can't even permenantly get rid of the clip markers! I keep removing them, saving, exporting a sequence as a project, but they come back! FIX THE CLIP MARKER ISSUE!!!!

Big issue 2: Sharing sequences and bins. Good lord. Something Avid has down, but you guys can't seem to figure out. I have thousands of project files at this point that I can't even keep in one Project because to gets too big and won't work. Not an issue on Avid MC. Something like sharing a bin or sequence should be instantaneous, not require dynamic linking to another project and painstakingly importing a sequence from it which always takes way too long even if the file is small. How is using thousands of project files efficient? Obviously you guys thought this through that editors and other users would be working with others and sharing work back and forth, right? I see you have shared projects now. Gee, thanks. It's a separate subscription. Why is it not included in CC? Don't you owe us a shared option after dragging us through all this media management nonsense? Why would anyone pay for something that other editing softwares do by default? We're not even getting our money's worth with Premiere Pro as it is. No one seems to give a darn about it.

Your support team via chat is laughable. I've had to solve 100% of my issues on my own. They don't know the software and don't edit. Just routine cleanup procedures. I had a support agent suggest I had too many sequences in my project. Well, you can't have too many sequences in Media Composer. Why is it a problem here? Too many sequences?!? It's a TV show! TV shows movies etc require a lot of media and sequences to stay organized and complete a product. I can't be keeping track of 100 ****** project files when everything I need should be in one place. They also said a 100MB project file isn't big. I'm sorry....what?! That makes it clear these aren't active users, so what help is support if they don't understand at the edit level? A huge 100MB project will take an eternity to load and save. Again, this stems mainly from Clip Markers. Fix it. Please.

And, a support agent told me that the latest version of Premiere 2020, I forget which version exaclty, was not working properly and would be fixed in the next update (May). Why, oh why, was a new version released without testing every single aspect of the software. Why would you release that? Is it becuase of the subscription stranglehold you have on us, as long as we pay month to month you don't care? There are plenty of sorftwares that function properly out there. Please remind my why Premiere was my favorite. In a lot of ways it is. But these constant crippling issues make it difficult to stay on board.

FIX THE CLIP MARKERS ISSUE!

I apologize for using Google translate. My English is not so good.
The problem started a couple of days ago. Here is a video that will make everything clear.
There is only one question. Is it just me or someone else?
And how do I fix this error?

I've been at work for about an hour and fifteen minutes today, and Premiere has crashed three times so far. I'm not asking a lot of the program, I'm just doing the workflow I've been doing for the last month. This is now worse than Final Cut Pro was when I switched to Premiere a decade ago. What am I gonna do now, switch to Vegas?

Of course, if you are still encountering specific crashes, feel free to report them with specific steps on how to reproduce them. Posts that say the app crashes aren’t actionable by the team especially when the thread describes multiple scenarios.

Crash logs are helpful especially in combination with reproducible steps and system information.

I find it really hard to still work on your software lately. I have a feeling that you don't test your updates before release. Mark my words, if you won't work on your stability, you will lose a lot of clients, especially now, during the pandemic, where people really work mostly at edits. I'm strongly considering going back to AVID right now.

In early 2020 you released some updates, that seriously broke my workflow. Especially with playback, that started laggin', and crushing, and doing really crazy stuff. It was somehow still possible to work, so I just tolerated it for a month, waiting for new fixes.

3 days ago, you released another update, that crashed my project down completely. Media pendente is the only thing I can see. I can't even import my sequences to 13.1.5 because it's too old. Im fuc***d.

I'm really sorry to say, but your software is amateur stuff and won't ever be considered pro, if you won't work on stability. You must test updates BEFORE, not AFTER. We update our soft, because we are full of hope, that it will repair some issues we were having, and instead of that, it gets worse, and worse, every time. Personally, I'm sick of this.

I've got pretty strong mac, not its fault. I edited far more heavier projects on it, than now. It's 100% your fault, and we expect some fixes, right now. If there wont be any, we just leave you and your playground alone. There ARE better software choices on the market right now.

Still believin' in you, but not for long.

If you can reliably reproduce a specific issue (like the ‘media pending’ you mentioned), please contact Support and provide and necessary files, and step-by-step instructions for how to reproduce it, and we’d be happy to pursue it further.

I'm really sick of being driven to the website over and over. All I ever find there is the same information. Somehow, I can never find what I'm looking for … instead I get pointed to giant pages of text and videos made by kids.
